Drugs + Brain Damage = This Tattoo

I think if you’d just stopped at “HATE LIFE,” then this would have made sense.

The Internet Blacklist Legislation – known as PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House – is a threatening sequel to last year’s COICA Internet censorship bill. Like its predecessor, this legislation invites Internet security risks, threatens online speech, and hampers Internet innovation. Urge your members of Congress to reject this Internet blacklist campaign in both its forms!

Visitors, please go here to find your local representatives and send them a message about why this bill should be stopped!

And of course there’s always the PS3, Xbox, and many others. These are just the most popular right now.

There’s also apps like iMediaShare for Android that allow you to play media on your smartphone from any DLNA media server (I like http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/ personally).

I’ll be adding to this list eventually as I find more products.

These new cameras capture light fields, which allow you to change the focus of the image after the picture has been taken. Although the technology has been around for years, it’s now available for use in cameras and desktop applications, where it used to take entire rooms of super computers to do the calculations.

Check it out, it’s pretty crazy:
